MANY-CENTENARIANS

In Caroline Creutzburg's latest work, this time created in close collaboration with René Alejandro Huari Mateus, the audience is contacted by the "Many-Centenarians". They, the several hundred year olds, are now inhabitants of a post-digital world. Based on their own fantasies and desires, the artists and the ensemble between the ages of 65 and 87 create their own science fiction narrative. Away from the typical totalitarian-apocalyptic images and narratives of the genre, the "Many-Centenarians" show us a future in which the world's fund of knowledge is stored in DNA, in which the world is three-dimensionally printable with fingers, in which humans consist only of eyes and float in existence. The play focuses on self-determination and the transformative potential of ageing. Caroline Creutzburg and René Alejandro Huari Mateus conjure up a counter-myth of technological progress on the body: ageing becomes a hacking of time and identity.
